But for some reason my hdd and dvd-writer (both SATA) show up in the safely remove hardware thingy in the system tray. Since I'm not going to remove them, is there any way I can get them to disappear from that list?

Thanks in advance.

there may be a setting in your SATA controller driver to turn hot-swapping off. try going to device manager and opening up the SATA controller options.

my motherboard BIOS has a setting for the SATA channel to emulate PATA. by turning off AHCI mode and emulating PATA, you won't have hot swapping anymore. you also lose the other SATA features like NCQ.

if the remove devices icon is bothering you that much, you can always try the above setting.
